Yestedays featured auctions were UV noob gear. Now today when I check the AH I see 5* recipes that were availavle via Kojima.......
What is happening with the Featured auctions
1. This UV noob gear are items that you can get as rewards after completing early missions in Rescue Camp. Players who were already in Haven were unable to get this rewards because you can't get back to Rescue Camp. Many players craved to own those gear though because:
a. It may be useful in T1 Lockdown (many 5* players enjoy T1 Lockdown)
b. There are many players with the need to "collect them all"
c. For the sake of raging at OOO, which is popular activity.
2. With Boost being murdered and Kozma becoming Supply Depot overseer there is no way to buy those 5* recipes that used to be sold by Kozma. Those recipe will be available in T3 Hall of Heroes, but T3 missions are unavailable so far... so we can buy those recipes at AH until T3 missions will be introduced.

If you've passed the Rescue Camp, you couldn't go back. Meaning, you couldn't do the Missions that gave out awesome Newb Gear to Beginners. A lot of Players didn't like this, so they added them for a Very Low Price.

And since talking to Kozma Opens the Supply Depot, there was no way to buy the Cobalt Line stuff(the 5* Versions, anyway. The Rest you can get from Missions.). They're up there until they figure out a Solution.
